D-League

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

I had a good day yesterday. Well, til about 10 PM anyway. Dang, the Hogs just looked so much better than the Cats. I gave up at the 8 min mark and went to bed.

My wife had company yesterday so I went on a solo 8+ mile hike on the Pine Mtn Scenic Trail. I ended up with over 25,000 steps yesterday.

Wildlife Wednesday since a few have talked about elk. I have been to a few elk releases and helped with some catching/collaring. We've seen one bull from the house and we get a bull travel through our hunting lease every other year or so. The pic is from my lease. Pretty good bull 6x6

I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning D-League.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you start chemo today Austin.

Nothing to say about the Cats last night. Well, maybe one thing. I've been clinging to the idea this was a good team looking to find itself. I think the truth is it is just a mediocre team, poorly assembled, and what we've seen since November is who they are.

Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 47° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 59°.

Have a great hump day 🐪.

Good morning folks.

Maybe I should have watched the SOTU instead of that mess at Rupp.
We are just not that good. No other way to spin it.

Cal certainly is not earning his $173,000 per week.

Broadcasting live from Texas Oncology. Currently have internet. I can work from this location tomorrow and Friday. Ah, the miracles of modern medicine and technology.

Thank you, all for the well wishes. Currently receiving pre-med anti-nausea drugs. Serious stuff begins later today.

Wishing y'all an awesome day.

I will not comment on the Cats. They are in real danger of missing out on the NCAA.

Good Morning D

A nice day ahead with a current temperature of 54°. There will be sunshine all day as it gets to 81°. I enjoy this time of year most of all. Pool temperature is 85°

Still SMH over last nights game. We are not the same program we once were and you can see it in the face of the fans. They started leaving with 5 minutes left in the game and whole sections were empty in minutes. Hard to watch that.

I trust all are well and prayers for Austin as he begins treatment. The Lord knows he is a good man and we wish him and his family the best. Always.

Very nice. Where is that? Don't recall a FL beach with palm or any trees.

 

[vhcat70]

Welp, this morning got my first of three weekly gel injections in my less than healthy right knee. Say I won't fully know till April how well they work.

Are you serious?

Damn, you are one of the few people on this site I look forward to what you have to say post game...but I understand it was so ugly it's tough to talk about.

A few things I have to say, the second half was an abomination...our sloppiness with the ball in the first 4 to 5 minutes of the second half just gift wrapped them 8-10 points right out of the gate.

We cut it a few times to 5 or 6 points and every time they would score, we couldn't get stops. They were basically shooting nothing but layups. Whoever told Toppin he needs to shoot 17 footers or beyond is doing that kid and our team a disservice...his stat line doesn't look awful but I actually thought he was killing us at critical moments.

If you perform well you should be rewarded with more minutes, why would Collins stay here another year? Scores 7 points in 8 minutes and doesn't see the floor again...why work hard and try to improve if your coach is just going to play his favorites?

Fredrick played 21 minutes...0-4 from the field, no rebounds, one assist...it's not like he is a lock down defender...if he isn't hitting shots he is worthless out there. If he hits a 3 or two early on I might keep in there but most games he gives you nothing.

But the way we were playing defense none of that matters, they could easily get in the lane...throwing lobs, getting layups...that 2nd half was one of the worst defensive halves of Kentucky basketball I have ever seen.

 

[vhcat70]

Are you serious?

Yes. But now that you ask, is it "Palm" Beach? i really don't know as haven't been there. It's not like I've vacationed in FL much, maybe 7-8 times.

I am working on a very slim margin on getting into heaven. So by not expressing myself over the game may save me!

If I have to depend on if I've been a good boy, my goose is cooked. I can already feel the heat.

I understand. Many people in America who come to Florida fly down to Orlando, go to Disney World and then fly back home. Everything they see is man made fantasy land.

Others fly to South Florida to the Miami and Ft Lauderdale area and all they experience is New York South and crowds of people wandering around. City people enjoy that.

The picture below is about 6 miles from my house and it is very wooded with no habitation.

Caladesi and Honeymoon Island are off the beaten path and you can lay back without the crowds and commercialism. No building is allowed on these islands. Florida has 1,350 miles of coast.

One of the most relaxing vacations I ever had was in Mexico Beach before it was demolished by Hurricane Michael.

Geez, per CBS Sports the Cats aren't even in the first 8 out. Tough road ahead with Florida, Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas left to play.

I guess it is not worth you and I losing our religion over.

First round of chemo completes in 5 minutes. My usual cast-iron, eat-anything-that-won't-eat-me stomach only slightly upset. Tiny bit. Might be able to eat tonight. Stay tuned.

My daughter and SIL have settled into their apartment in Huntsville AL and are liking the area. We plan to go down this weekend and visit. Does anyone who lives in or knows the area have any recommendations on restaurants, sites to see, etc?

When My Darling and I were there last, in 2015 or so I was not impressed with the amenities. May have changed... hopefully so. We have some good friends we were in Korea with that we talk to regularly that like it a bunch. Surely they have upgraded the "to do's" around the joint. Have a great time...

Hey, a number 1 class Sir. 😡

You are telling us Hu finally made it to first.

Only one has been already sentenced to burn and that is Satan. The rest of us can repent (sincerely) and through the grace of God be saved.

I am sitting on pins and needles for the report.

I've only been there once, but as someone already said, The space and rocket center is there. Each Sept and April the World Racking Horse Celebration in nearby Decauter/ Priceville is held if you like horses. My sister won Racking Horse Woman of the year a few times.

 

[BBUK]

Hu

Yeah, Hu's on first?

 

[BBUK]

Here it is.... a tremendous skit worth watching....

I pigged out for dinner.

5 oz cold smoked salmson
whole cucumber sliced with pepper and horseradish sauce
20 cherry tomatoes
12 oz cooked cabbage
8 oz plain yogurt with small touch of maple syrup.

Thanks. Life is good.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 40°F and clear. Today's high projected around 72°. Chilly start, but gorgeous finish.

One week after ice storm, 300 customers remain without power. Crazy.

After first day of chemo, my voracious appetite remains intact -- so far. Huge reason was 10 mg steroids though port yesterday. Feeling great this morning. Today is another day. Must report to Texas Oncology clinic by 1 pm today for more chemo. Stay tuned.

I had a freaking blast in the TX Oncology parking garage yesterday morning before upstairs facility opened. For 20 minutes, wearing my +25 year-old BDU Gortex jacket, boonie hat and carrying walking stick, I circled parking garage singing Panzerlied or German Tank Crewmen's song in German.



I was 33 years old again, enjoying camaraderie and fellowship with German Bundeswehr Panzertruppen out at Grafenwöhr range complex. Tripped a few folks out who waited in their cars and SUVs for facility opening. Heh. So what the heck.

Loss to Arkansas at Rupp night before last still smarts. Ouch.

Gotta run and harass/pester couple folks up in Political thread before I start work. Y'all behave and have an awesome day.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 62° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will be cloudy with gusty winds and a high of 70°.

Have a great day.

That would have been funny to see. I would have liked to have seen the reactions of others in the garage. Police on speed dial on each cell phone.
